Chapter 81

Kangxi was a little sad that his son wanted to play with his friends but was rejected. But the next moment, the boy came over again and said with a smile: "After playing with friends, can we go out and play alone, Father Huang?"

Kangxi said with a dark face: "No, I don't have time."

But Yinzuo was never afraid of his dark face. He even took Kangxi's arm and said, "I'm free, I'm free. Just now, the Emperor said he was free. I can always make time."

"Whenever the Emperor says to go, I will go. Your son will be waiting for you at any time."

The smile on Yinzuo's face made Kangxi suspect that the brat was deliberately teasing him.

Kangxi pinched the brat's face and snorted.

.

After nearly half a year, Yinzuo was finally able to go out again. When he stood in front of Harcha, Cebutan and others with his new look, he was greeted with a lot of concern and sympathy.

In the past, Yinzuo was the thinnest among them, but in fact he was very energetic every day. Although he didn't have enough strength when fighting with others, his angles were very tricky and he was quite difficult to deal with.

But now Yinzuo's face was pale and his lips were light-colored. He looked so weak that he had suffered a serious illness. They didn't even dare to use force when holding his wrist, and they didn't dare to fight with him anymore.

Harcha patted his chest and said to Yinzuo in a very righteous manner: "In the future, you don't have to fight. I will help you."

Yinzuo blinked: "Okay."

It was a great pleasure to meet friends again after a long absence. I chatted with Harcha and the others for a long time before leaving.

However, since he had started to go out of the palace to play, everyone started urging him to go back to the study to study. As for his plan to accompany Concubine De to take care of her pregnancy, it was simply not possible.

Concubine De was very touched by her son's filial piety and concern for her. The baby in her belly was a little naughty, and she had a hard time carrying him, and the wound was serious.

Having Yinzuo by her side would make Defei happier, and Yinzuo was also good at taking the opportunity to coax Defei to eat more.

Defei had just vomited again. She rinsed her mouth and sat back down. She picked up a cold dish that was more refreshing and took two bites. It was because of her stuttering that she couldn't eat that she arranged to eat as much as possible.

The imperial physician that Yinzuo consulted did not recommend eating cold food, but there was nothing he could do as Concubine De had no appetite for anything else.

The Fourth Prince who came to pay his respects was also sitting at the dinner table. Originally, he just came to pay his respects. It was not a normal meal time, but just a snack for Concubine De. He did not think about sitting down to eat, but was forced to sit down by Yinzuo. According to Yinzuo, the Fourth Prince had just finished school and must be hungry now.

Concubine De looked at the Fourth Prince and asked, "Did I scare you?"

The Fourth Prince shook his head, his eyelashes blocking his gaze. Concubine De was too polite to him.

Yinzuo looked at Concubine De's belly and said, "This little brother or sister is so lively and naughty."

Yinzuo thought for a moment and said, "Well... Fifth Sister was well behaved at that time, right?"

The fifth princess said enthusiastically, "Sure!"

Concubine De also smiled and nodded.

Yinzuo: "What about me? Have I made my mother suffer?"

Concubine De: "I was always hungry when I was pregnant with you."

Yinzuo asked again: "What about the fourth brother?"

The Fourth Prince couldn't help but look up.

Concubine De showed a look of reminiscence on her face. She seldom thought about that time. "When I was pregnant with your fourth brother, I liked acid and felt sleepy, but overall it was fine."

The Fourth Prince's fingers trembled. Everyone is always curious about the things that happened when they were born, and Concubine De's tone was very soft at this time, which made the Fourth Prince a little dazed for a moment.

Yin Zuo's voice rang out, and he said, "It seems that this one is the most difficult one now. He is not obedient."

Concubine De smiled and said, "What do you mean by being obedient or not? What does he know now?"

Yinzuo insisted that he knew, and even wanted to read enlightenment books to Concubine De's belly. Concubine De said helplessly: "Don't read it here with your mother, go to the study room if you want to read it."

"Listen to your father."

Although she was very grateful for her son's filial piety, how could a mother who was pregnant need her child to stop studying and stay with her?

Kangxi couldn't beat Yinzuo now, so he reported the case to Concubine De, but Concubine De easily defeated her son with one move.

When Yinzuo was about to refute, Concubine De just said softly: "Son, if you are so nervous about mother, mother will also be nervous."

Yinzuo: “…”

Defei's words blocked all of Yinzuo's words.

De Fei continued softly, "Listen to mother, go to the study room. We don't need to be too tired. Just listen to as many lessons as you can. Your father and mother have said that you don't have to sit there all the time. If you get tired, you can go out for a walk."

What else could Yinzuo say? Yinzuo agreed.

The Fourth Prince looked at the gentle Concubine De, and then at the dispirited Yinzuo, and gained a better understanding of their mother-son relationship.

It was said that Concubine De spoiled Yinzou to death, and people thought that even if Yinzo started to act like a spoiled brat, Concubine De couldn't control him. But now it seems that Yinzo couldn't get out of Concubine De's control.

Yinzuo returned to the study, but this time it was just as Concubine De said, he was not going there to suffer, he could rest anytime he felt tired.

With such a high degree of freedom, Yinzuo changed his previous mindset and even exaggeratedly began to find classes quite interesting.

But when Yinzuo said this to the crown prince, the crown prince nodded and said with a filter: "You loved learning when you were a child."

When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said this, he had completely forgotten who was the one who always procrastinated on doing his homework and loved to daydream in class, and who was criticized the most by Emperor Kangxi.

And Xiao Shi kept yelling at Yinzuo: "Sixth brother, you are disturbing the morale of the army!" The master in the upper study room treated the Sixth brother as a glass man. They were learning very hard, but as for the Sixth brother, it had not been long since the master in the upper study room took the initiative to ask the Sixth brother if he wanted to take a break!

Yinzuo smiled proudly.

When the eldest prince looked at the bright smile on Yinzuo's face, his expression darkened for a moment, and he felt guilty again, and he did not feel happy.

The list of people who will be traveling outside the Great Wall this year has been released, and Yinzuo is definitely not on the list.

Yinzuo had originally told Kangxi that he wanted to live in the newly built large garden for a while, and Kangxi also said that the yard given to him had been tidied up. But this time, because of Concubine De's pregnancy, Yinzuo had no intention of living outside the palace.

By the time they actually set out, Defei's belly had become quite big. Yinzuo supported Defei and waved goodbye to Kangxi and the others. Kangxi was talking to someone else, and before leaving, he turned back.

"I am leaving, you must behave yourself in the palace."

"Your mother is also in poor health, so please don't leave the palace while I'm away."

"If you perform well, I will allow you to play with muskets when I come back."

Yinzuo was originally dissatisfied with Kangxi's uneasy instructions, as if he was restless, but when he heard the last sentence, Yinzuo's eyes lit up: "Really?"

"It's a deal, the emperor's word is his bond."

Kangxi reached out and stroked Yinzuo's head like he was stroking a puppy.

Kangxi's exhortation before leaving was a public display of favoritism, with countless eyes looking at him. However, after Yinzuo's poisoning, Kangxi's favoritism became even more open and aboveboard.

Kangxi was angry, and he needed to let everyone know more clearly the position of Yinzuo in his heart, so that everyone would not look down on Yinzuo, who was sick and weak, could not accompany them on the journey to the frontier, and would even find it difficult to take on any duties in the future.

And everyone has indeed seen that the Sixth Prince was favored before, and now he is even more favored by the emperor.

After sending Kangxi back to the palace, Defei looked at Yinzo, worried that Yinzo would be sad because he couldn't go out, but she saw that Yinzo was so happy that he was almost jumping for joy. Defei also smiled. It seemed that his royal father's trick of playing with muskets really attracted him.

Yinzuo also knew that his royal father was trying to tease him about playing with the musket, but he felt that his royal father was somewhat prejudiced against him, and he would not take advantage of Kangxi's absence to act naughty and have fun - because even if Kangxi was there, he could basically do whatever he wanted now, and even if he went to the Huohuo Lake to catch the beautiful big fat fish that his royal father raised, his royal father would not punish him.

Besides, his mother is pregnant, and he won't let her get angry or worry about him.

After some days, Kangxi, who had already arrived outside the Great Wall, sent a letter to the palace, and this time there was also a letter from Yinzuo.

This was the first time Yinzuo received a letter from his royal father.

Kangxi's words to Yinzuo were quite homely, but a little long-winded. He mentioned that there was hail outside the Great Wall and the weather had suddenly turned cold. He also said that this period was the rainy season in Beijing, and asked him not to go out in the rain like he did when he was a child. He also said that he didn't need to go to the study when it rained, and could just stay in his own yard.

He also told Yinzuo that if it started to get hot in the capital, he might as well move to the new garden, where the yard reserved for him had a cool breeze and there were imperial doctors and maids in the palace, so he wouldn't have to worry about his mother all the time. In any case, he was not allowed to use ice basins in the house and was not allowed to eat raw or cold food.

Things like him going to the eldest prince's place to steal the ice bowl like before must never happen again.

Yinzuo shook the long-winded letter paper and thought to himself, don't always talk about these things, and also talk about the results of hunting outside. Alas, I thought he could lead the hunting team this year, but unfortunately...

He had previously watched the scene from the sidelines when Kangxi and his men set out, and he wanted to see with his own eyes what it would be like when they led the Eight Banners warriors to chase the tiger.

His brother, the prince, had also shot a tiger.

But now it seemed that the emperor and his father avoided talking to him about hunting, and it seemed that he was not in a position to ask. Yinzuo scratched his head, thinking that he didn't need to be so sensitive.

Yinzuo strolled to the Eastern Palace.

This time, his elder brother, the Crown Prince, did not go with him to the frontier, and his royal father also sent a letter to his elder brother, the Crown Prince.

As soon as Yinzuo arrived, he asked, "Brother Crown Prince, have you finished writing your reply to the Emperor?"

The prince asked, "What?"

Yinzuo said: "When you write back to my father, please write more about how I behaved very well in the palace and how I was not disobedient in any way."

"If I wrote it myself, it would be like Wang Po selling melons and boasting about her own products. It is not as useful as what the prince wrote."

The prince smiled and said, "You are the only one who is smart."

Yin Zuo said, "I haven't replied to the Emperor yet. I'm writing to the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince needs my praise, I'll praise him to the Emperor as well."

The prince shook his head: "I don't need it."

When Kangxi was not in Beijing, the crown prince was the person with the highest status in the capital. The crown prince, who was already fifteen years old this year, was no longer young and was someone who could make decisions. When Kangxi was on a tour outside the Great Wall, reports on important court affairs would be sent to Kangxi, but the crown prince also had a lot more affairs on his hands.

Kangxi's letters to the crown prince were completely different from his nagging concern for Yinzuo's well-being and food. The letters were more about serious matters. When facing the crown prince, Kangxi had to be a strict monarch and father.

Of course, the prince's letter back to Kangxi was mostly about serious matters. He reported to Kangxi some of the things he had handled in the capital and had made his own decisions.

Moreover, the prince's reply to Kangxi had already been written.

However, under Yinzuo's gaze, the prince still took out another piece of paper and continued to praise Yinzuo. He showed it to Yinzuo and said with a smile: "Look, is this okay?"

Yinzuo smiled embarrassedly: "It's possible!"

He himself was also writing a reply letter to his royal father. Although the crown prince said it was not necessary, he still knew how to reciprocate and said that his brother the crown prince was in the palace studying and disciplining his younger brother, and caught the little boy who wanted to skip classes. Outside in the court, well, he was not sure, but was busy every day and did not slack off.

The Emperor is not at home, and the Crown Prince has become tired and thin!

Anyway, just boast and show off.

There is a saying that goes, "Everyone carries the sedan chair!"

Yinzuo, who was writing furiously, didn't know that his brother, the crown prince, had picked up the pen again and, after praising him, continued with another paragraph.

The corners of the prince's mouth curved up in joy, and beautiful words continued to appear after the wet ink, "The above is written at Xiaoliu's request. There are some exaggerations in it, so please don't believe it completely..."
